Cells (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote).

[lava-sharks.livejournal.com]

i'm glad u can google

[snoglobel.livejournal.com]

I thought of cells first, and wasn't sure you had heard the term- so I linked to the descriptive article. It was a google after the thought.

You asked what I think of Eukarya, that's what I think of: Biology class and cells. Actually what came to mind first was "bacteria".

So yea... not a fan of the name.

I do love your icon though. :)

You asked for opinions and she gave one. If you're confused as to how this works, please refer to the community rules before responding.

And yes, good for cells. Not great for a name.

[fivepoints.livejournal.com]

Agreed. "Eukaryote" was my first thought. Oh, biology.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

Also my first thought.

[kort-ni.livejournal.com]

yep. as a biologist, this was the only place my brain could go. It's one of those "sounds ok" but means something not very nice and most people with at least an intro to bio class will know what it means.

Also, it's not a name. That's what I think.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

I didn't think the meaning was "not very nice." I thought it was nice enough and quite accurate! But, not necessarily what one might want referenced. Being one who might name nerdy, this might otherwise be a bonus for me.

[kort-ni.livejournal.com]

I guess I just think naming a child after a domain which includes many protists and fungi isn't the meaning I would like. YMMV. I honestly don't like the sound of it either, but I was trying to not tear it totally apart.

[hwar.livejournal.com]

Yep, that is my first association as well. I'd as soon name a child Protista or Cellulose.

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

This.

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

I dropped biology when I could, so I did NOT thing of cells, for a change.

I thought 'Eureka', and I don't like that. Then again, I'm just not a fan of 'Eu-' names.

[doxerssoldout.livejournal.com]

agreed. i thought of eureka from "eureka's castle."

[blosmbee.livejournal.com]

This.

[thellamaqueen.livejournal.com]

'Eureka' was the first thing I thought of, too, followed by 'karaoke', and then by the biological reference. :P

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

Yeah at first I thought it was a cr3ativ spelling of Eureka.

[birdsonthewire.livejournal.com]

i misread it at first and thought it was Eureka (as in the thing you shout when you think of something....also as in the name of the dragon (i think) from that old nickelodeon show Eureka's Castle) and then i thought of it as a dogs name but i can't remember exactly what dog was named Eureka on tv somewhere...

and then i realized i was misreading it and now it just reminds me of some kind of anime name and i think that people would have a tough time pronouncing it. Which sucks as a child because you have to correct adults all the time and that's intimidating (take it from me, that always happened to me when i was little and it was awful because i was so shy)

so i'm not really a fan. sorry

[gipro2003.livejournal.com]

I thought of 'Eucharist." I think it has a pretty sound, but I wouldn't use it as a name.

[go-away-finchel.livejournal.com]

i thought of urticaria. like, hives.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I was a bio major in college, so I'm sure you know by now where my first thought went. And actually, I could totally see a biologist naming their daughter this.

References aside, I'm not a huge fan of the sound of it. I think it's that "eu" at the beginning. However, if someone did have this name, they could always go by Kari.

That's my 2 cents.

[taleofaredhead.livejournal.com]

I first thought of "eukaryote". "Eu" is actually a prefix meaning "good", so I guess it doesn't have completely negative connotations. Eukarya is a made up name, though, so in the end I'm against it.

[cielamara.livejournal.com]

I love it.

But I'm a biology major, so.

[home-to-me.livejournal.com]

I thought Eukanuba. Like, the dog food.

[frost.livejournal.com]

At first glance, I read it as Eureka.
I think it's really ugly.

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

i think you should name the sibling Hoover, or Oreck...

then i went with biology... there would also be interesting names for a sibset if you went biology.

either biology or vacuum brands works...

[longlostblue.livejournal.com]

Well, I made a face when I read it...
